Planetary Conditions

This mod adds weather and gravity to planets that will affect the heat and movement of mechs.

The contract biome details has 4 new text rows that will show you the effects.

All modifiers are adjustable in the gameplay options screen and are updated in real time (if you change them mid-mission, they should apply immediately).

The default values:

40% increase in cooling @ -180 C

Stock @ 20 C

-20% decrease in cooling @ 120 C

10% increase in cooling @ 200 kPa (2 atmospheres)

Stock @ 100 kPa (1 atmospheres)

-15% decrease in cooling @ 0 kPa (vacuum)

10% increase in cooling @ 100% humidity

Stock @ 50% humidity

-10% decrease in cooling @ 0% humidity

Ambient Temperature is based off the biome tags and time of day.  It was based off the orbit, size, and sun type, but sometimes you would get a glacial map with an ambient temperature of 200 C.

Extreme Cold = -180 C to -50 C

Cold = -60 C to 10 C

Temperate = -10 C to 35 C

Hot = 30 C to 80 C

Extreme Hot = 70 C to 120 C

Gravity affects ground and air movement for mechs:

0. 1 G = 15% increase in top speed; 30% increase in acceleration, deceleration, turn speed, jump jet acceleration

1. 0 G = Normal

2. 0 G = 15% decrease in top speed; 30% decrease in acceleration, deceleration, turn speed, jump jet acceleration
